I create artwork loaded with heirloom bits and found dishes. The joy I derive from mosaic goes hand in hand with my love of collecting objects that provoke strong memories.

Throughout my life, my artistic pleasure has come from hoarding and sorting sentimental curios. This has led me to the art of mosaic where I can use dishes, vintage jewelry, mirrors, shells and ceramics objects.

Employed as a graphic designer, I honed the skill of simplicity, clarity and composition.

My process starts with a narrative, then I walk amongst my gathered materials, rarely needing to obtain more. The textures and color of vintage dishes and objects surprise and delight me.

Recently the portrait format has been my greatest challenge and pleasure.
